STAY AWAY !!!!!!!
Used to love this product. They changed something and it's not terrible. The first ingredient is MALTODEXTRIN. Look up that. It's a sugar supplement that's not real sugar but acts as one. Protein concentrate. So processed protein Go down the line of actual ingredients. Artificial flavors and Sucralose. This used to be a great product. Now it's just absolute garbage. Diabetics in a bag disguised as protein powder. Sad because I took this for years.

Shawn's review
I take this and I use the vanilla, for when I bulk up starting October every year until April. I try and have my calorie intake at 3000 per day at least 5 days a week. I mix it with peanut butter, quaker oats, honey, almond milk and a banana. taste damn good. I take it right after i workout. I workout mostly in the evenings after work, just good enough for the shake and bedtime after, I also eat 4-5 meals a day when I bulk up as well.

Pros/Cons
Four starters I have been trying to put on weight for why do while within two weeks or less with the amount I have consumed I have gained maybe 5 pounds for me Adam water to mix this product is not a good idea unless you doing it in a blender obviously sometime I am on the go so I have a nice long spoon and a cup with milk and it makes very well with milk the vanilla taste it?s good and I don?t like vanilla very much is store-bought the smell is perfect if you take this product and you don?t eat anything you consume a lot it will mess your stomach up or if you eat a very small meal and consume more of this product it will mess your stomach up to each his own there is not a lot of the product inside of the container it?s like half air which is empty try to do some type of exercise after consuming this product instead of laying around and not doing anything any kind of exercise it takes a while to see a major increase on your weight gain journey no matter if you take two full scoops twice a day it takes a while and if you?re not a milk drinker the taste gets on bearable on a regular basis other than that you will have to see any additional results this is my experience

Effective
The powder is very chalky and not easily mixable. Taste is ok. However if you are a hard gainer or needing meal replacement this will help you get what you want and hopefully graduate to something stable afterward.

Pretty good
Its only been a solid 2 weeks, so its too soon for me to really give my opinion on the gainzz .Flavor isnt too bad. I got vanilla, I always go with chocolate but the savings deal only had vanilla flavor to offer. I just straight chug my whole shaker. Goes down smooth. The scoop is big, think of a detergent cup and thats your scoop. Ive been fairly consistent with it. Twice a day on workout days and once a day on non workout days. It has given me the extra strength. Its an overall good product. I would definitely go for chocolate next

Gain weight

I am a female. My weight is 80 pounds. I am looking to gain some weight and was wondering if this product would be right for me. I'm not going to working out much. People told me to eat meat and other things, but I am a vegetarian. Should I buy this product?

Best Answer:  If you're not going to be working out, you will only gain fat. Maltodextrin (the main ingredient) will spike your blood sugar considerably, and if the cells in your body aren't using it (because you're not working out), it will get stored as fat.

Now I don't know what you look like. If you're skin an bones, then sure this might help (at the expense of your pancreas cranking out insulin). A healthier option if you're not working out would be Garden of Life Raw Meal.

FYI, when most people tell you to gain weight, they mean muscle, not fat. Strength training 3 days a week will get you where you need to be. And don't worry about bulking up. As a female you lack the testosterone necessary to make that happen.

Hope this helps,
Skye

is it eeffective if you do not take it often?

Best Answer:  I don't know. I take it often. However, in much reduced quantities. All I'm looking for is an extra 500 calories a day to boost my total to 3500 which is too much for me to eat with quality food. This gives me that 500 extra calories. So in that context, it's working for me.

Hi..
I am 117lbs weight and 173cm height. i look very slim and good shapes even as 6 pack. and i use to go gym. i just wanna put on some weight and muscle. will this product help? or which will i choose? plz help?

Best Answer:  I took this product twice a day and ate all the right things to help gain weight. In a one month period I gained 18 pounds without working out. Only downfall is you have to mix it very well(blender). I would recommend this product if you take it like your supposed to. Very satisfied with results

does anybody know if this product may cause acne?

Best Answer:  Not from my experience. Its just a concentration of calories mostly carbs low in fat, doubt any problems like that can be attributed to it.

I'm wondering if women can take this product? I am a skinny girl naturally, so I am looking for something that will help me gain some healthy weight. I have a fast metabolism and I was just wondering if this product is something that would help or this is more for more serious weight gain? Thank you.

Best Answer:  Yes, this will help you gain the weight you want and, you can control your weight gains by taking it with water, whole, skim or 2% milk depending on your goals. An additional benefit is the taste is great and, don't worry you won't end up looking like a dude. I hope this helps.

Yea I don't quite understand the nutritional facts, does that apply if you take the 2 scoops or if it's 8? some confusion here

Best Answer:  The information on the ingredient lable is based on the serving size (2 scoops). There are 8 - 2 scoop servings in the entire container.

Product weighs 6 pounds but only yields 8 servings? If you take daily (just once) you would need to order more than 3 containers to get you through the month. Maybe a good product but the price per serving seems a little high.
Would i take this before or after i lift?

Best Answer:  Hey Zach!

You'll use your weight gainers whenever you feel you are short on your calorie intake in order to remain anabolic throughout your day. You could take Serious Mass about an hour before your workout to accomplish this, or you could take it an hour-or-so after your workout to accomplish the same purpose. I have taken Serious Mass before, after, and a lot of the time (during my morning workouts) in the midst of the workout, along with some other whole food as well. You'll find though that you should try to minimize your intake of the weight gainers, however, because, while you will be able to satisfy your caloric requirement during the day, you'll start to look like shit. Weight gainers don't exactly make your skin look very nice, which is why most people use them only when necessary -- a lot of the time you'll be needing to eat 7-8000 calories a day, which is .... difficult to do day after day. Regardless, I hope it works out for you. Have fun lifting! ^_^

In How many days a 6lbs serious mass can be use? by looking at the scoop, i think it will not sufficient even for 1 and half month ?

Best Answer:  According to the label there are only 8 servings. So it can be emptied within in 8 days if you drink one per day. Personally I only used about 1/4 to 1/3 of a serving at a time since my goal was to just use pre or post workout to replenish approx 60g of carbs. As well as just boosting my calories by a small amount to reach my goals for "Myfitnesspal." (app)

I bought Serious Mass in january and I have been mixing it with milk. After mixing it tastes fine, but there is red at the bottom of my container, i was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and if it is normal? It still tastes fine and seems to be working out great.

Best Answer:  One of the ingredients is Red #40 food coloring, have no idea why, that's probably what it is. Bummer because I thought it might have been vitamin A or something good for me.

    BEEF-UP WITH CARNIVOR- " THE WORLD'S FIRST BEEF PROTEIN ISOLATE"

    It has long been known that bodybuilders and strength athletes consume high amounts of beef to help build muscle and increase strength. The muscle building power of beef cannot be disputed. Ask any bodybuilder and they will tell you that they make their biggest muscle gains and feel their strongest when they eat beef . Now, thanks to development of an advanced bioengineered beef protein, MuscleMeds has formulated the most sought after muscle building protein ever created. Carnivor is unlike any other protein in existence,

    The World's First All Beef Protein Isolate Is More Concentrated Than Whey

    Using new advanced extraction, clarification, hydrolysis and isolation technologies, CARNIVOR's Beef Protein Isolate delivers the muscle building power of beef with higher amino acid levels than all other protein sources used in supplements, including whey, soy, milk and egg. CARNIVOR Beef Protein Isolate is even 350% more concentrated in anabolic muscle building aminos than a prime sirloin steak!*

    Anabolic Nitrogen Retention Technology (ANRT) Recycles Aminos and Minimizes Ammonia

    ANRT is a major muscle building breakthrough in protein supplementation. While protein is critical for muscle growth, it can sometimes actually decrease performance and muscle growth if nitrogenous waste products like ammonia are not recycled back into anabolic tissuebuilding pathways or otherwise neutralized. ANRT is specially designed to allow the recycling of aminos back toward the muscle building pathway and prevent the build-up of debilitating toxic scavengers such as ammonia . ANRT nitrogen retention factors contained in CARNIVOR include GKG (glutamine-alpha-ketoglutarate), OKG (ornithine-alpha-ketoglutarate) and KIC (alpha-ketoisocaproate).

    Added BCAAs for Increased Anabolic and Anti-Catabolic Effects

    To further boost the anabolic muscle building action of CARNIVOR, additional branched Chain Amino Acids are added to the purified Beef Protein Isolate. The enhanced BCAA levels promote a positive nitrogen balance, increase protein synthesis,decrease catabolism, improve workout performance and reduce muscle fatigue.

    Throughout history, the ravenous appetite that "men of muscle" have for top quality beef has become as legendary as their superhuman feats. Ancient warriors, Greek Olympic athletes, strongmen like Sandow and even Roman gladiators craved and consumed pounds of beef per day to build muscle to boost their combat prowess. Now, in modern times this muscle building nutrition tradition carries on in the bodybuilding world with CARNIVOR!
